The location of the hotel is amazing! You are in the middle of everything to see which is also in walking distance. The personal was very kind and also helped us to know what to visit and where to go. We have been there for the birthday of my girlfriend and they helped me surprise her with a chocolate cake in the morning and something to drink. Everything was just phenomenal! Thank you again.
SwitzerlandOutstanding location And amazing staff!!! I will Definitely go back again, Nuno from reception and Rogerio the concierge are real asset for this hotel.
QatarRelaxing room, delicious breakfast, smiling staffs,
TaiwanGreat location. Fantastically helpful and knowledgeable staff for booking restaurants, transport options etc. Spa very good as well. Excellent buffet breakfast plus cooked eggs and other platesfrom kitchen.
United KingdomI loved waking up to hear the buskers in the square, the hotel is in such an incredible location and has a very classical vibe. I felt like I was staying in a palace.
New ZealandVery nice hotel at a great location in the centre of the busiest square in Porto and close to everything, yet it is quiet and peaceful inside. The rooms are very comfortable with a wide selection of pillows that helps you get the best sleep. Concierge are very helpful and the one who helped us gave recommendations based on personal experience; he did not go wrong with any, from dining to activities and places to see.
United Arab EmiratesGreat location, very helpful staff and concierge helping with dinner suggestions and reservations, quiet and clean.
CyprusThe location of the hotel was excellent and the breakfast was very good too. The staff were attentive to detail, but I would expect such service in terms of the price I paid for my stay. I would recommend the hotel to other travellers, but they should be aware that it is very expensive.
FranceLocation was excellent Staff especially Concierge staff were obliging happy and extreme helpful.
AustraliaLocation. Concierge team outstanding with one exception! Breakfast.
